I had a quick
question in which I’d like to ask if you don’t mind. I was
curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your thoughts
before writing. I’ve had a hard time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out.
I truly do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15
minutes tend to be wasted simply just trying to figure out how
to begin. Any suggestions or hints? Appreciate it!

Tara- That is a really good idea and I am now entertaining it! I won’t be an official pacer, but perhaps I’ll pace you if you are interested? As long as I hit my goal at Shamrock next week, I don’t plan on racing Carmel so that would be fun! Let me know if you would be interested- and I definitely think if you hit 7:30’s on a half, you can hit 3:30 for the full. Key will be keeping it steady the first half and putting the hammer down the second half. I’ve tried the run less run faster plan also- think it can work well for some and you might be the perfect person for it.

I love that the Tri group has been “your family thing” and although I don’t want to wish away this time in our lives, I am excited for that time- it sounds like a blast.

If you’d be interested, I’ll email you about Carmel- my email is lirander@gmail.com. Talk soon!!

This isn’t my first time training for a full. I over-train and have proven to be injury prone once I get over 40 miles/week. I was registered to do the NOLA full last weekend, but had trouble recovering from a stress frac that I finished fracturing during the Monumental half. I took 7 full weeks off in a boot and have only been running again for 4 weeks. I’m loosely doing the “Run Less, Run Faster” plan. It’s a delicate balance for me between training sufficiently to achieve my goal (a BQ) and injuring myself and putting in another DNS. I only run 3 days a week and max out at 32 miles in two weeks. We’ll see. Feels very insufficient, but I’d like to actually make it this time. I’m trying to trust my time in the pool and on the bike to make up the slack. And, clearly, hoping to BQ in my first full is not advisable, but since I read your husband’s post on San Diego, I think I might be singing to the choir on that one! I’m old (38), so the bar is not high. Indeed, it would be lovely to meet you there. If my training holds out, I’ll be lining up in the 3:30 area. My half pace this fall was 7:30, so 8’s feel reasonable and are more than enough for a BQ.

My oldest started doing tri’s when he was 7 and my two others followed a race behind at 6 and 5 respectively. I think technically they need to be 7 (USAT age), but we have fall birthday’s so they’ve been younger than that on race day. I’m working with a group to organize our first Kid’s Tri down here on 7/27. Without a conscious choice, this has become our family “thing”. Our garage became full of Fugi kid’s road bikes almost overnight. We are doing a family trail run in French Lick in the morning and then my oldest and I are headed out for a 20mile ride. Something to look forward to…

I don’t have blog. Honestly, haven’t even considered it. Best of luck in your taper week. Trust your training; sounds like you’ve nailed it!

Hi Tara! Thanks so much for the sweet comment! I have a good friend from Jasper and was jut there for their wedding in August. (my first time there!) Oh man, I can only imagine what kind of activities he will be into- but the Kids Tri series does sound fun. How young were your kids when they first tried it out? I do have a full in two weeks, I am incredibly nervous about it as of late… the whole taper thing, I’ve been excited for the rest, but has me ansy. That is so great you are doing Carmel full, I’ve done the half and the 8K and know the race organizers, who are really great! It’s a flat, fast course. I plan on doing the half. What training program are you doing? Perhaps we can meet on race day! Do you have a blog also?

Your pace and discipline are so inspiring. Seriously, incredible. I love the handful of other posts I read too. Many parallels and points of identification. I applaud your decision to stay at home. It’s not an easy choice, but one I’m sure you won’t ever regret. I started staying at home 8 years ago when my oldest was 11 months. I know for me, miscarriages were a lesson in not taking the role “mom” for granted. Like you, I feel beyond blessed to be able to be with them. We live in Jasper, but my 3 boys participate often in the Kids Tri Series in Indy. I imagine we’ll see Marshall on the circuit in a few short years! Sounds as though you have a full in two weeks. Can’t wait to read how it goes and be further inspired. I am planning to run my first full at Carmel next month. I’ve run five 1/2’s in the past 6 months and the miles are starting to come too quick, so I figured it was time. Your blog may become my virtual training partner. I’ll channel you during tomorrow’s repeats!

Hi Britsy! Thanks! Breaking it up is totally the way to go… even if there aren’t dramatic pace changes, it helps so much it the mental side of things.

I hate the looming 20 miles- and every single time I finish I wonder why I let it bother me so much. No matter how many times I run that far, it is mentally hard to grasp before I head out- that I will be running that far. And every time I do it, I’m on cloud 9 for the remainder of the day.

Will this be your first 20? Boston is an amazing race- lot’s of hills! Good luck and I will check out the blog!

I am seriously impressed and inspired. I really like the way you broke up the 20 miles and as I have a 20 miler scheduled for this Sunday looming over me, I really appreciated reading your post. I started a blog about my attempt at my first marathon…coming up quickly this April..check it out if you’re remotely interested: britsytoboston.blogspot.com

And again, thank you for fhis post in particular and the entire blog is awesome!!

You are a phenomenal runner. Looking forward to hearing about the marathon! Kill it!
